	Computer science - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Computer science (abbreviated CS or compsci) encompasses a variety of topics that relates to computation, like abstract analysis of algorithms, formal grammars, and subjects such as programming languages, program design, software, computer hardware, artificial intelligence, and numerical analysis.
		Computer scientists also study other models of computation, which includes parallel machines and theoretical models such as probabilistic, oracle, and quantum computers.
		Computer graphics is the field of visual computing, where one uses computers both to generate visual images synthetically and to integrate or alter visual and spatial information sampled from the real world.

		In practice, computer science includes a variety of topics relating to computers, which range from the abstract analysis of algorithms, formal grammars, etc. to more concrete subjects like programming languages, software, and computer hardware.
		Computer scientists also study other kinds of machines, some practical (like parallel machines) and some theoretical (like random, oracle, and quantum machines).
		Computer scientists study what programs can and cannot do (see computability and artificial intelligence), how programs should efficiently perform specific tasks (see algorithms), how programs should store and retrieve specific kinds of information (see data structures and data bases), and how programs and people should communicate with each other (see human-computer interaction and user interfaces).

		A computer scientist is a practitioner of computer science.
		Note: Some of these people pre-date the invention of the digital computer, but they are now regarded as computer scientists because their work can be seen as leading to the invention of the computer.
		The highest honor in computer science is the Turing Award, the winners of whom are all major pioneers in the field.

	Feminism and Women's Studies: Becoming a Computer Scientist
		What appears to be needed is increased sensitivity on the part of male computer scientists to their female students and colleagues, an increased awareness by women so that they will not be easily discouraged, and quite simply, an increased number of women in the field.
		Indeed, because the number of women computer scientists shrinks as one progresses through the pipeline, it is unreasonable to expect senior women to mentor all of the junior women.
		A detailed discussion of the problem of gender discrimination as it relates to women in computer science departments can be found in the 1983 report "Barriers to Equality in Academia," which was written by a group of female graduate students and research staff in the computer science department at MIT [2].

	Computer Scientist and Computer Engineer
		Computer scientists perform many of the same duties as other computer professionals throughout a normal workday, but their jobs are distinguished by the higher level of theoretical expertise and innovation they apply to complex problems and the creation or application of new technology.
		Computer scientists and computer engineers are expected to be the two fastest growing occupations through the year 2006.
		Computer scientists and computer engineers will need to continually upgrade their technical expertise and improve their ability to interact with users as the sophistication and complexity of technology advances.

	Computer systems analysts, database administrators, and computer scientists
		Computer specialists with work experience and considerable expertise in a particular subject or a certain application may find lucrative opportunities as independent consultants or may choose to start their own computer consulting firms.
		Computer systems analysts, database administrators, and computer scientists are expected to be among the fastest growing occupations through 2012.
		Employment of these computer specialists is expected to grow much faster than the average for all occupations as organizations continue to adopt and integrate increasingly sophisticated technologies.

		More complex computational tasks than noughts and crosses could be tackled with different arrangements of the enzymes.
		But the pair acknowledge that the approach will never rival silicon computers, because human action is needed to operate the gates in system and it is not reusable.
		In previous DNA computing schemes, all of the elements are mixed in a test tube and the answer to the calculation is deduced from the product of the reaction.

	Llull as Computer Scientist (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		That logical reasoning is, in some sense, computation -or, more properly, that it can be formalized and validated by controllable means- is now an accepted idea, clearly explained in the writings of 1920's logicians (Hilbert or Herbrand, to name two) and actually mechanized in the 1960's.
		In Computer Science the device is called a machine and what is being generated is the set of output configurations in a tape.
		Or the same machine which computes the batch of acceptable results is also capable of recognizing a correct calculation.

	Grace Murray Hopper: Pioneer Computer Scientist
		She was commissioned a lieutenant in July 1944 and reported to the Bureau of Ordnance Computation Project at Harvard University, where she was the third person to join the research team of professor (and Naval Reserve lieutenant) Howard H. Aiken.
		She was one of the first software engineers and, indeed, one of the most incisive strategic "futurists" in the world of computing.
		Perhaps her best-known contribution to computing was the invention of the compiler, the intermediate program that translates English language instructions into the language of the target computer.

		They based their method on one simple assumption: if two genes are mentioned in the same paper, they must be biologically related.
		The ultimate goal of scientists trying to analyse biological information is to have computers that can read and understand scientific papers in an intelligent way.
		"The holy grail is for a computer to be able to read an article like you or I would read it and extract the concepts and relate them all to each other," says Masys.

	Knuth: Things a Computer Scientist Rarely Talks About
		In the fall of 1999, computer scientist Donald E. Knuth was invited to give six public lectures at MIT on the general subject of relations between faith and science.
		After all, the author says, ``computer science is wonderful but it is not everything.'' Occasionally even mathematicians and computer scientists should think about the meaning of life.
		[The book's] value is in seeing that computer scientists can and should address the big issues; and also the uniquely humorous, down-to-earth, and personal way that he does it.

	Re: What does a computer scientist do exactly?
		Michael, Computer applications are expanding like never before so occupations in computer science are very diverse.
		On a daily basis they might work with managers and computer users to determine their corporate goals and what kind of hardware or software would benefit them most.
		Because of the expanding field of computer science, there are many, many more tasks computer scientists can do.
